    What's really missing is an open source "bring your own engine and asset pipeline" editor tool. Game editors have pretty much arrived at the Unity data model and editor workflow (game object outliner to the left, scene view in the middle, property panel on the right, asset panel at the bottom, plus custom panels). The Unity Editor and asset pipeline is hackable enough to use it as editor for another engine, I did that in the past as "proof of concept" and it definitely works, but is most likely a legal minefield. Blender is also definitely hackable enough to serve that role (see: https://armory3d.org/) (again I did something similar in the past with Maya, it kinda works, but this wasn't very popular with artists because they were overwhelmed by the UI).
